[A] I thought I had seen pretty [D] girls in my [A] time
That was before I met [E7] You
I [A] never saw one that I [D] wanted for [A] mine
But that was be-[E7] fore I met [A] you. [A7]

CHORUS
I [D] thought I was swingin' the [A] world by the tail
I thought I could never be [E7] blue
I [A] thought I'd been kissed and I [D] thought I'd been [A] loved
But that was be-[E7] fore I met [A] you.

I wanted to ramble and always be free
But that was before I met you
I said that no woman could ever hold me
But that was before I met you.

CHORUS

Note. Additional verse not on Carl Smith recording.

They tell me I must reap what I have sown
But darlin' I hope it's not true
For once I made plans about livin' alone
But that was before I met you.
